The Honour of Mother in Islam

In a famous incident, a man came to the Prophet and asked:
"O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right
onme with regards to kindness and attention?"He replied: "Your
mother." "Then Who?" He replied: "Your mother." "Then who?" He
replied: Your mother." "Then who?" He replied: "Your father." (Ahmad
and AbuDawud)
The Qur'an also discussesthe immense honor and respect due to both
parents, and especially to mother:
"And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents.
His mother borehim in weakness and hardship upon weaknessand hardship,
and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and toyour parents,
unto Me is the final destination." (V.31:14)
